ninjette.org - View Single Post - Where should we put Backpacks, Tailbags, Tankbags, and other Luggage discussions

There are a bunch of threads here in the "Motorcycle Gear" section about various types of luggage. I had intended the Gear section to be about stuff we wear to protect us from the elements, help protect us from injury, etc. But - things like backpacks, tailpacks, tankbags, tailbags, saddlebags, hard luggage, etc, seem a little different. Some of the threads are here in the gear section, some of them are in the farkles section. And a few are in the tech section if they have to do with installing the luggage.

So - the question is, would it be helpful to create a new subforum for "motorcycle luggage", to capture all of those threads in one place? Or is the current setup good enough, and people are comfortable with having those threads here in the gear section already.

I don't feel strongly about it either way, so I'm open to the poll results (or additional suggestions), just let me know. I don't like adding forums for no reason, but I also don't like the fuzziness of not knowing where a thread topic should be classified, so those need to be weighed.
